[QUOTE="KDLadage, post: 563863, member: 88"] My business partner (Rich Bowman) and I have been discussing this recently. The idea would be to produce something along the lines of the old red-box Basic D&D set. We have begun some preliminary work on this as a project and hope to do something with it in the coming year. The big thing with this one, though, is getting the funds together to get it printed... :) What we want is this: [color=orange]BASIC SET[/color] -- Player's Guide (32 pages; staple-bound, cardstock cover) -- Game Master's Guide (32 pages; staple-bound, cardstock cover) -- Low-Level Sample Adventure (16-24 pages; staple-bound, cardstock cover) -- Blank Character Sheets (with light silo's of the various races/classes) -- Set of Dice This set should cover levels 1-5. Strip down things to the bare bones, necessary elements only. IE: Treat races as classes much like the old Basic Set did (Elves could be, for example, dedicated Sorcerer/Fighters). Ensure that this is fully, and completely compatible with the 3rd edition/d20 rules so that conversion later will be a snap. [color=orange]EXPERT SET[/color] -- Player's Guide (32-48 pages; staple-bound, cardstock cover) -- Game Master's Guide (32-48 pages; staple-bound, cardstock cover) -- Mid-Level Sample Adventure (24-32 pages; staple-bound, cardstock cover) This set should cover levels 6-10. This one should introduce the Prestige Class as well (with a few examples). Add some options that are a part of the d20 system, but not introduced in teh BASIC SET. [color=orange]ADVANCED SET[/color] -- Player's Guide (32-48 pages; staple-bound, cardstock cover) -- Game Master's Guide (32-48 pages; staple-bound, cardstock cover) -- High-Level Sample Adventure (24-32 pages; staple-bound, cardstock cover) This set should cover levels 11-20. With this set, the entire d20 SRD should be included (for the most part). The fact that Elves are (as listed above, for example) are actually a race and multi-class combination should be revealed and explained. This is my plan. Any comments? [/QUOTE]
